The 1V35 06:36 Wolverhampton to Plymouth Virgin CrossCountry service was normally routed via Cheltenham, but on 13 November 1999, the train was diverted via Oxford, and only went as far as Bristol Temple Meads. 47818 is pictured sweeping round the curve near Tackley. This loco was unusual in having oval buffers at No.1 end, and round buffers at the other end.
